Listener comments!

Billy Jam:
This is a very special event in celebration of the greatness that was (and hopefully will soon again be) KUSF San Francisco radio on the FM dial. The station was kicked off the air on Jan 18th during DJ Schmeejay's show so I thought it only fitting that DJ Schmeejay should begin today's radio broadcast by picking up from where he was so rudely interrupted by the plug pullers at the 90.3FM transmitter during his last radio show.

Fri. 2/18/11 9:13am
Billy Jam:
Live from Amoeba Music San Francisco noon to 3pm (local Cali time) which is 3pm to 6pm back in NJ. This radio show is broadcasting not only on WFMU but also is being carried live by radio stations all across the country in an unprecedented show of solidarity for the unacceptable treatment of KUSF radio. Joining WFMU today in broadcasting are WITC Cazenovia, NY 88.9FM, KXLU Los Angeles 88.9FM, KFJC Los Altos Hills 89.7FM, KDVS Davis 90.3FM, KZSU Stanford 90.1FM, WXYC Chapel Hill NC 89.3FM, WREK Atlanta GA 91.1FM, WCBN Ann Arbor Michigan 88.3FM, KVRX Austin TX 91.7FM, KALX Berkeley 90.7FM, & KRFP Moscow Idaho (Free Radio Moscow) 92.5FM. Each of these FM stations will also live stream the broadcast on their respective websites - as will kusfarchives dot com. There will also be a live video stream today c/o Yowie Dot Com. KUSF DJs Irwin, DJ Schmeejay, Harry D, Jantine B, Carolyn, and Stereo Steve will spin half hour music sets (give or take a few minutes depending on mic breaks) while myself and WFMU's Gaylord Fields (coincidentally out in the Bay Area this week) will host the event - doing the legal IDs at top of each hour. Thanks for tuning in and supporting the fight to SAVE KUSF. If you are in the Bay Area git yer ass over here to Amoeba Music on Haight Street in San Francisco up until 3pm local CA time. Thank-you!

Misty Briggs:
as an ex commercial FM DJ and promotions director of many years (and a college DJ for one year) I have to say that this is one of the most awesome things that I have ever seen in radio! The solidarity is unprecedented and all of us here in Chapel Hill, NC have got your back!! Thanks for all that you do KUSF! We need more stations just like you... not less!!
Much Respect and Appreciation,

Madi Horstman:
Radio listeners and music lovers are some of the finest people on earth. The solidarity expressed today is beyond heart warming. Giving the SF folks a voice is a kind and just thing to do. Viva Radio, Viva WFMU, WFMU RULZ!!

Ken:
AAC+ also still dead for me, while all other streams are working. But I'm over Oklahoma about to cross into Kansas airspace so dont go by me. Yes! It's me Cheri Pi! Schmeejay, loved your set!

yeah alice!

Laura G:
Listening online from London England - Schmeejay, it's Laura formerly of Stanford Jazz, living in London now. Bummed to hear about the sale of KUSF. Also miss the excellent pizza and the one-of-a-kind place that is the Bay Area. Best of luck.

Fri. 2/18/11 3:46pm
Cheri Pi:
Happy Birthday shout outs to KEN!

Fri. 2/18/11 4:00pm
pete accident:
ahhh this rundown of call letters so so inspiring. thank you thank you everyone.

Fri. 2/18/11 4:01pm
Madi Horstman:
This is giving me chills. Surely today will be part of a feature film.

Fri. 2/18/11 4:01pm
John:
It’s times like this when I am so proud of being a WFMU fan. In the words of Def Leppard, rise up, gather round, let rock this place to the ground.

Fri. 2/18/11 4:05pm
Derek Walmsley:
Listening from London in the office of The Wire magazine. Great idea. Much respect.

Fri. 2/18/11 4:17pm
Andy S.:
That may be Hortense Ellis but this song is not "What Do I Have to Do to Prove My Love To You." It's "Mojo Hannah," and it was also recorded by Marvin Gaye on his very first live LP; and by Tami Lynn, in a studio version produced by Jerry Wexler. If I'm correct, somebody might want to correct the playlist entry.

Fri. 2/18/11 4:19pm
Johnny Savage:
Yo Billy ... KUSF would not have gone down had you not left the Bay Area ;-) Keep up the great radio.

Fri. 2/18/11 4:19pm
Billy Jam:
hey Andy and all else - due to the logistics here (running up and down a filght of stairs to get to playlist computer - and reading handwriting ) this playlist is imperfect now - but will update correctly later by time of archives -promise

Fri. 2/18/11 4:27pm
djspidermanZ:
long live freeform.
great choons.
will Ken get balloons at the ready for his snowboard antics?

Brian Turner (WFMU):
Bay area radio means mucho mucho. Special shout out to the late great Ken Hamilton/Spiderman from KFJC who used to spend great times on the phone (yes the phone) yakking up records he loved to me....and hey to Irwin, Jantine, Carolyn n everyone. Sounds great out there....

Fri. 2/18/11 4:34pm
Regina:

Fri. 2/18/11 4:56pm
perrin:
oops, reggae show in 1986 was KFJC? Spliff Scanking and richard ranking? if memory serves. KUSF was punk, I remember that now...

Fri. 2/18/11 5:17pm
efd:
Not that I thought it was sounding bad before... but now it sounds *better*

Of course, it may just be the Jimmie Walker.

No messing, this is amazing what all of you are doing in a show of unbeliavabe support for the great unfortunate KUSF, Fight The Power!!

Fri. 2/18/11 5:23pm
Cecile:
YES

Fri. 2/18/11 5:24pm
efd:
Jeff, not sure how to describe it but there was a noticeable boost in the levels as well as a shift in the presence(?) of the audio on the 128k mp3 stream, around 5:10 or so. Maybe someone tweaked something out in SF.

Fri. 2/18/11 5:24pm
Cecile:
I don't care if Janet sold a million records, this and Control were the JAM.

Fri. 2/18/11 5:46pm

Billy Jam:
THANK YOU ALL for your contributions to this historic event. Thank-you to all the radio stations including WFMU (special thanks to FMU GM Ken Freedman), WITC Cazenovia, KXLU Los Angeles, KFJC Los Altos Hills, KDVS Davis, KZSU Stanford, WXYC Chapel Hill, WREK Atlanta, WCBN Ann Arbor, KVRX Austin, KALX Berkeley, KRFP Moscow Idaho, KSCU Santa Clara, and KXSC Los Angeles. Thanks to the KUSF DJs in Exile who spun sets: DJ Schmeejay, Irwin, Harry D, Jantine B, Carolyn, and Stereo Steve. Also thanks to Steve The Creep who was on the mic giving away tix and all the other KUSF DJs that came thru including Germ, Tomas, and David Bassin. Thanks to Brad Stark and Kenya Lewis and all the other tireless Save KUSF folks working quietly behind the scenes. Thanks to Erica and the guys from Yowie.com for driving all night up from LA to do a video stream of the event. Thanks to my WFMU co-host Gaylord Fields.

A special thank-you Amoeba Music San Francisco for not only hosting the event but getting behind it 100% in every way including doing a whole round of pre-publicity. Special mention to Karen Pearson, Ilene Berg, Tarin (who did sound for show), Kaitlin (photos), & Tim Cohen (tech advice).Thanks to WFMU's Jeff Mullan for engineering back in the WFMU NJ studios and to WFMU's Scott Williams for tech support, Brian Turner & Liz Berg for their support and everyone else at WFMU. Thanks also to every entity that publicized, promoted, and got word out on the event including Spinning Indie, Bay Citizen, SF Weekly, CMJ, Pitchfork, New York Daily News, and KTVU TV. But mostly THANK-YOU to YOU the radio listener who tune in, appreciate, and support left of the dial stations like KUSF. It was a fun broadcast. For me it was the final in a three part Bay Area series of WFMU remotes. Next week (Feb 25th) I will be back in the WFMU studios same time (3pm-6pm EST = noon - 3pm PST) with a show that will include a 1988 Miami Bass set and an interview with Yukmouth of the Luniz fame.
- peace- Billy Jam

Yo, we need you to make some noise for Wisconsin. It's not about unions per se. It's about autocracy and the royal priviledge of delegating wealth to those who don't need it and can't responsibly manage it.
